Immortality begins with upgrading buildings

Chapter 403 Mount Futu, a plan to help a Nascent Soul cultivator! [Seeking monthly votes]

Left: Spirit Stone; Right: True Treasure.

Do we even need to choose?

Ji Yuan felt that if he even considered it, it would be disrespectful to Qingchengzi's protection.

"Okay, okay."

The slender Qingchengzi stroked his beard and smiled, waving his right hand lightly, "Take it, take it."

As he spoke, his precious treasure fell into Ji Yuan's hands.

Ji Yuan accepted it with both hands and infused it with a trace of magic power.

The information about the treasure was then injected into his mind: the flying sword, indeed shaped like a willow leaf, named "Hanging Silk".

Even the willow tree that Qingchengzi conjured at the end was actually in harmony with the flying sword, which is why Ying Changkong couldn't withstand it.

Ji Yuan was looking at the information about the treasure, while Qing Chengzi took the porcelain bottle containing the pills.

There were 12 improved Qi and Blood Pills inside. He took out 3 in one go, checked them, and swallowed them in one gulp.

Immediately, a rich aura of blood emanated from his body. Many old, hidden injuries left over from before, as well as the remaining impure spiritual energy in his internal organs, all dissipated under this pure aura of blood and were eventually expelled from his body.

This is like a long-awaited rain after a drought for the body.

This even made Qingchengzi let out a slightly relieved sound.

After taking those three Qi and Blood Pills, his graying temples turned noticeably darker.

Qingchengzi was refining pills, and Ji Yuan naturally wouldn't let such a good opportunity pass by.

He transformed into a beam of light and hurriedly arrived at the place where Ying Changkong had fallen earlier.

Without much hesitation, he took out the Thousand Soul Banner.

He muttered incantations while a black banner fluttered in his hand.

In the short span of a single breath, a thick, eerie wind gathered all around.

This feeling was something Ji Yuan had never experienced before, not even when he killed a peak Core Formation cultivator and collected their soul.

In other words, the Thousand Soul Banner swayed slightly, gathering their yin souls and collecting them into the banner.

But things are different now.

We haven't even seen a shadow of this ghost yet, but the eerie wind... is already quite strong.

As a result, Ji Yuan unconsciously felt a little pressure.

not simple.

It's definitely not simple.

The Thousand Soul Banner continued to flutter, the surrounding yin wind grew stronger, and even visible gray ghosts appeared.

"Damn it, is the Yin spirit of this Nascent Soul stage monster really that powerful?"

"If I really take it in, I'm afraid it will devour all the other Yin spirits in my Soul Banner... However, according to the crafting rules of the Thousand Soul Banner, if the Thousand Soul Banner wants to be upgraded to the Ten Thousand Soul Banner, it does need a main soul. Since even the Yin spirit of a peak Core Formation cultivator cannot serve as the main soul, only the divine soul of a Nascent Soul old monster can do it."

As Ji Yuan was thinking, a cold wind blew around him.

A sinister voice gradually reached his ears.

"Boy, you killed me, and now you dare to summon my ghost? You really aren't afraid of death!"

As the sound rang out, Ji Yuan noticed that the surrounding yin winds suddenly became much stronger, and the ghostly mist in front of him gathered in one place. As the yin wind howled, a huge eagle, Chang Kong, rose from the ghostly mist.

Upon seeing this, Ji Yuan hurriedly poured more magical power into the Thousand Soul Banner.

He unleashed the Soul Banner and activated it with all his might.

A tremendous suction force immediately came from within, and the surrounding ghostly mist was gradually drawn into the soul banner.

Ying Changkong shifted slightly, but he quickly resisted the suction force.

Ji Yuan panicked upon seeing this.

This... hasn't gone too far?

"Ha, the dead should have the awareness of the dead!"

Qingchengzi's voice suddenly boomed all around.

Ji Yuan's eyes lit up.

Behind the ghost of Eagle Soaring in the Sky, an old man's figure appeared out of thin air. His right hand, which resembled an eagle's claw, stretched out and was wrapped with blue magic power. He grabbed forward and then suddenly pulled it apart.

The spirit of the eagle soaring through the sky was immediately imprisoned by him.

The ghost grew smaller and smaller until it landed in his palm, struggling frantically and letting out a series of vengeful howls.

Qingchengzi said without changing his expression:

"If yours were the Ten Thousand Souls Banner, he wouldn't be able to escape. Unfortunately, what you have now is only the Thousand Souls Banner. How about this, I'll cripple him first, and he'll slowly recover with the help of your Thousand Souls Banner. As long as your cultivation improves quickly enough, he won't be able to escape."

"Thank you, senior."

Ji Yuan hurriedly said.

He hadn't expected that the soul of a Nascent Soul cultivator would be so powerful. Luckily, Qingchengzi was present today, otherwise something terrible would have happened.

After saying this, Qingchengzi grasped Ying Changkong's yin spirit with his left hand and brought his right index and middle fingers together in a sword-finger gesture.

Drawing talismans in the air above these vengeful spirits.

Eagle's screams grew louder and louder until Qingchengzi finished the last stroke and threw his vengeful spirit into the Thousand Soul Banner.

"go!"

The spirit entered the soul banner, and Ji Yuan quickly activated the restrictions within the banner, finally managing to store it in his storage bag.

The spirit banner was put away.

Before Ji Yuan could even breathe a sigh of relief, Qing Chengzi was the first to exhale a breath of stale air.

"call--"

He looked at the remaining nine Qi and Blood Pills in the porcelain bottle in his hand, a look of admiration for a treasure flashing in his eyes, before reluctantly putting them away.

"This pill is indeed a treasure, especially for a cultivator like myself."

Seeing his reaction, Ji Yuan couldn't help but think to himself.

If the opportunity arises, I'll give the old man a few more pills. After all, it's understandable that I might keep a few for myself since these are such precious pills.

He must be able to understand.

Compared to the previous Nightmare True Lord, Bone Nightmare Old Demon, and Xuan Snake Palace Master, Ji Yuan clearly trusts Qing Chengzi more.

Firstly, he wasn't a proper demonic cultivator.

Secondly... when he first emerged from underground and discovered his identity, his subconscious action was to run with himself, rather than pushing himself out to block Ying Changkong.

This alone made Ji Yuan feel much more at ease with him.

The deal is done.

The Nascent Soul cultivator's yin spirit was also taken away, and both of them were relieved.

Qingchengzi first sensed his current physical condition, then made a hand seal. A flash of azure light appeared, and his mental and physical condition, which had recovered considerably, immediately returned to his previous old and decrepit appearance.

She even looks a few years older.

...Yin, as expected of that old schemer!

Seeing his appearance, Ji Yuan couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

"Hehe, young friend, you are quite cautious." Qingchengzi chuckled as he saw Ji Yuan's expression.

"There's no other way. I came from a background of independent cultivation; if I hadn't been careful, I wouldn't have survived until now."

As Ji Yuan spoke, he activated the Transformation Talisman once again, but this time, he transformed himself into an old man with gray hair.

He was listless and had sunken eyes.

At first glance, it appears as if it is about to die, thus putting people at ease.

As Ji Yuan spoke, he turned to look at the surrounding stone city and asked, "This place... Senior, have you noticed anything? Such a huge city shouldn't be for normal people to live in, right?"

Qingchengzi pondered for a moment, then waved his right hand, and a streak of light flashed by.

Beside them appeared a ten-meter-long, snow-white leg bone.

"This is……"

"These are what I found underground. There are many large skeletons like these. I speculate that... there used to be a group of giants living in the Rakshasa Sea, but for some reason, they all disappeared."

As Qingchengzi spoke these words, he was also looking at the enormous stone city.

"At least on the Abyss Continent, there has never been any mention of giants."

Even Ji Yuan, a mere Core Formation cultivator, had seen the Merfolk and knew that there were all sorts of strange and wonderful races in the world.

Not to mention Nascent Soul cultivators like Qingchengzi.

However, what he said was similar to what Ji Yuan had thought before.

"I see."

"I've collected quite a few bones. If you're interested, you can take this one."

"Then thank you, senior."

Ji Yuan was indeed curious, so he smiled and took the bone away.

"There must be no one else in this giant city."

Ji Yuan then asked the question.

"When I first came in, Xun Tianji was here, but he ran away as soon as I entered. However, this place has been almost completely looted. If you have nothing else to do, let's go out first. I suppose Mount Futu will open soon."

For Nascent Soul cultivators, this core area is still just a minor matter.

What truly ignited their competitive spirit was this Floating Pagoda Mountain.

"it is good."

Ji Yuan's entry into this place was entirely by chance.

"Then let's go."

After Qingchengzi finished speaking, he took Ji Yuan with him, and his figure transformed into a stream of light. He leaped up and flew straight towards the outside of the city. In just two breaths, Ji Yuan felt himself pass through another formation.

When he came to his senses, he found himself back in the heart of the sandstorm.

Moreover, this place... is quite different from the places he went into before.

Ji Yuan was still looking around when Qing Chengzi scanned him with his divine sense and knew the result.

"This giant city is moving; this is no longer the place we entered before."

"No... Senior, please look up."

Ji Yuan, looking up at the sky, spoke in a trembling voice.

"Um?"

Qingchengzi subconsciously looked up.

At that moment, a golden divine mountain that blotted out the sky was floating in the sky.

The divine consciousness is not visible, but it is visible to the naked eye.

Moreover, despite the fact that it was such a massive sacred mountain suspended in the air, those of them located at the foot of the mountain felt no pressure whatsoever, and did not even detect a trace of anything unusual.

"This is... Mount Futu?"

Ji Yuan muttered to himself unconsciously.

"It's almost certainly true."

A glint of green light seemed to flash in Qingchengzi's eyes as he looked at the divine mountain above him, as if he could already see cultivators fighting inside.

"Young friend Ji, are you still going? If so, you can join me on this mountain climb!"

Perhaps it was because he had killed Ying Changkong in that giant city earlier, or perhaps this old fellow had come in with the idea of ​​making a final stand, that he seemed so spirited at the moment.

"Come on, we're already here, how can we not go and take a look?"

Having gone through this journey, Ji Yuan has come to terms with it.

At worst, I'll just risk losing fifty years of my lifespan and then run away.

With Mount Futu right before our eyes, how could we not go?

After all, Ji Yuan hadn't forgotten that there was another extraordinary treasure here that was in the same lineage as his Lightning Cloud Chaser.

He had already experienced the power of Zhudianyun.

If he could get his hands on that rare treasure again... Ji Yuan felt that his Nascent Soul stage would be secure!

Even without other means, relying solely on the Star-Stepping Wheel and the Demon Seed of the Dao Heart would be enough for him to dominate the Nascent Soul stage.

"Then let's go!"

Qingchengzi laughed loudly, taking Ji Yuan with him. The two of them transformed into a streak of azure light, soaring straight into the sky and disappearing into the golden divine mountain.

Like a pebble thrown into a calm lake, creating ripples.

"..."

"This Floating Pagoda Mountain should be divided into three levels. At the foot of the mountain where we are... those below the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm can move around here, but to go to the mountainside, one needs the cultivation of the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm, and to go to the top of the mountain, one needs the cultivation of the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm or above."

Qingchengzi looked up at the magnificent sacred mountain and explained to Ji Yuan via telepathy.

"Is it divided into such detailed categories?"

Ji Yuan couldn't help but ask.

Upon hearing this question, a smile involuntarily appeared on Qingchengzi's face.

"After reaching the Nascent Soul stage, every step is a step to the heavens, it's no joke. Like before, before entering the Rakshasa Sea, you should have seen the Black and White Duo kill the Soul Devourer Venerable, right? The Soul Devourer's cultivation and strength are actually not weak, but in front of the Black and White Duo, he had absolutely no ability to resist."

Ji Yuan nodded silently.

Therefore, the reason why I can easily kill people of different cultivation levels while I am in the Core Formation stage is because I am in the Core Formation stage.

In the mid-stage of Core Formation, killing opponents of the same level is as easy as slaughtering dogs; killing those in the late stage requires a little more effort, but with some effort, even the peak Core Formation stage can be killed.

However, once you reach the Nascent Soul stage, even killing someone across a small realm becomes very difficult.

"Let's go treasure hunting too."

After saying that, Qingchengzi led Ji Yuan and they traversed through the mountains and dense forests.

So, over the next few days...

Ji Yuancai truly understood what it meant to search for treasures in secret realms, and he also understood why so many cultivators were so enthusiastic about it.

Because these hidden realms haven't been plundered much, they are full of treasures!

Second- and third-tier rare and precious materials are practically everywhere.

Moreover, even with a companion demon beast guarding him, it would be nothing more than a matter of one sword strike in front of Qingchengzi, a Nascent Soul cultivator.

These treasures, which were of no use to him, naturally fell into Ji Yuan's hands.

This also includes some other spiritual fruits and herbs.

Ji Yuan encountered two things that could directly improve one's cultivation level.

With this gain, he had no doubt that breaking through to the late stage of Core Formation would be a sure thing once he got out.

However, along the way, they mostly encountered immortal talents suitable for Core Formation cultivators.

Neither of them encountered a single fourth-tier treasure that could be used by Nascent Soul cultivators.

Another half day passed.

Ji Yuan was just picking a third-tier treasure vine when a strong fluctuation of energy came from the northwest.

The two turned to look at each other almost simultaneously.

Qingchengzi immediately deduced, "There are Nascent Soul cultivators vying for treasure. Let's go take a look."

Without waiting for Ji Yuan's agreement, he took Ji Yuan with him, their bodies transforming into a streak of blue light, and flew towards the northwest from which the commotion had originated.

In a short while, the two arrived at the location.

Since it was a battle between early-stage Nascent Soul cultivators, Ji Yuan quickly learned the situation with a sweep of his divine sense.

The two Nascent Soul cultivators currently engaged in combat were the old grave-digging ghost from Tian Sha Mountain and Xuan Huangzi from Xuan Qing Sect.

Although both were still in the early stages of the Nascent Soul realm, the commotion caused by their battle was remarkable.

It's not much different from a cultivator in the mid-Nascent Soul stage.

Not long after Ji Yuan and Qing Chengzi arrived, two more figures swept in from afar and stopped in mid-air.

Ji Yuan scanned them with his divine sense and learned their identities.

The Hundred Hammers True Lord of Tiangong Valley, and the Hundred Flowers Hermit of Tingtao Pavilion.

There were four people in total, all of whom were early-stage Nascent Soul cultivators.

Upon seeing that it was a member of the righteous path who had arrived, Xuanhuangzi felt as if he had found a fellow Daoist and immediately shouted:

"That old gravedigger managed to steal a Thousand Wood Infant Soul Bead!"

"What?!"

Upon hearing that it was this thing, Ji Yuan felt Qing Chengzi beside him tremble slightly.

"Senior, what is this?"

Ji Yuan asked telepathically.

"If I could obtain this item, my chances of advancing to the mid-Nascent Soul stage would increase by at least 50%!"

With just one sentence from Qingchengzi, Ji Yuan knew how precious this treasure was to him.

Seeing the envious look on the senior's face, he knew that he was going to snatch it.

He came to the Rakshasa Sea seeking an opportunity to break through to the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm.

Once you break through to the mid-Nascent Soul stage, not only will your strength increase significantly, but your lifespan will also increase considerably.

The opportunity to break through is right in front of him, and Qingchengzi certainly won't let it go.

In the distance, the later-arriving Hundred Hammer True Monarch's gaze swept over Qingchengzi, lingering briefly on Ji Yuan before speaking:

"Fellow Daoist Qingchengzi, this is a supreme treasure of the wood element. If you obtain it, you'll be almost certain to reach the mid-Nascent Soul stage."

"Hehe, no, no, would you mind lending a hand, True Lord?"

With a frail and aged voice, Qingchengzi chuckled as he answered.

True Monarch Baichui originally cultivated fire magic, so the Thousand Wood Infant Soul Pearl was useful to him, but not very much.

"I would like to, but unfortunately, our Heavenly Craft Valley also needs this item."

The Hundred Hammers True Lord took the initiative to speak to me, but now he's taking the initiative to refuse.

Even now, Qingchengzi still took the initiative to analyze and explain to Ji Yuan:

"You can't believe anything anyone says about treasure hunting. Even if you agree to team up, you still have to rely on yourself in the end."

"Even now, even if I join forces with True Monarch Hundred Hammers, I still have to keep a handy to guard against him."

"Thank you for your guidance, senior."

Ji Yuan replied telepathically.

Before leaving, he used his divine sense to check the movements of the other Nascent Soul cultivators to make sure no one was paying attention to their presence, and then asked Qingchengzi:

"Isn't the senior going to make a move?"

"Yes, I have a premonition that my opportunity to break through to the mid-stage lies here."

Qingchengzi did not hide his thoughts, and then said, "Young friend, if we really start fighting later, I may not be able to take care of you for the time being."

"It's alright."

As Ji Yuan spoke, he casually tossed a storage bag into Qing Chengzi's sleeve.

Please keep this item safe, senior.

"Um?"

Qingchengzi scanned the area with his divine sense and immediately learned the situation inside.

Inside the small storage bag was only a jade bottle.

The jade bottle contained six improved versions of Qi and Blood Pills.

"This junior has given me everything I have; I earnestly hope that you, senior, will succeed!"

Qingchengzi held the storage bag in his hand, paused for a moment, then chose to put it away and replied:

"Young friend Ji, if I survive this ordeal, your affairs will become my affairs, Qingchengzi's affairs."

"You flatter me, senior."

Ji Yuan replied.

In the distance, Xuanhuangzi and the old gravedigger exchanged blows before parting ways.

Just as the old gravedigger retreated, the other three Nascent Soul cultivators made their move.

Even Qingchengzi, who was next to Ji Yuan, disappeared instantly.

Together with Hundred Hammer True Lord, Hundred Flower Hermit, and Xuanhuangzi, the four of them trapped the old grave-digging ghost from four directions.

Four people surrounded and killed one person.

They are all cultivators of the same level... In addition, the predicament that this old grave-digging ghost is currently facing is almost exactly the same as that of Qingchengzi.

They are all nearing their end and have come here seeking an opportunity for a breakthrough.

So, given this situation... if we don't make a choice now, we're probably doomed.

"This Thousand Wood Infant Soul Pearl is indeed in my possession."

The old gravedigger raised his right hand, holding a blue pearl about half the size of a fist.

Ji Yuan scanned the area with his divine sense and discovered that there seemed to be a forest inside the pearl, filled with dense tree shadows.

However, the strong wood-attribute aura emanating from it made him somewhat alarmed...

He even thought that if this were a water-attribute treasure, he would want to drink a mouthful of Nine Netherworld Burning Life Brew and participate in the snatching.

A mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator made a move, snatching the item and leaving instantly.

It shouldn't be too difficult.

As soon as the old gravedigger took out the Thousand Wood Infant Soul Pearl, Qingchengzi and the others instinctively thought of making a move.

But the old gravedigger's hand was even faster. His magic power surged, as if he was about to crush the Thousand Wood Infant Soul Pearl at the slightest provocation.

This caused the other Nascent Soul cultivators to stop in their tracks.

"Oh--"

The old gravedigger sneered, "This thing is indeed not very effective for me. Among the people present, Fellow Daoist Qingchengzi is probably the one who needs it the most."

"But even if we don't need such a treasure ourselves, it would be good to trade it. However, there is only one of these items, and there are four of you... I wonder how we should divide this treasure?"

Xuanhuangzi, who had just fought him, also mocked him.

"What, you still have the treasure in your hands, and you're trying to incite us to fight amongst ourselves? Have you been sleeping in a coffin too much and your brain has died?"

"No, no, no."

The old gravedigger turned around with a sinister smile, looked at Qingchengzi, and said:

"Fellow Daoist Qingchengzi, how about I give this to you?"

"No need. My cultivation is too shallow to protect such a precious treasure."

Qingchengzi stroked his beard and shook his head.

"Tsk tsk tsk, no wonder he's a rogue cultivator, so slippery."

The old gravedigger shook his head and sighed, "But if you really want it, just name your price. If the price satisfies us, we'll give it to you as a gift."

"That's possible."

The Hundred Hammers True Lord responded in agreement.

Qingchengzi chuckled and said, "If it were just you alone, it would be fine, but now that you're all here... even if I sold everything I own, I still couldn't afford this price."

"Alright, stop with the pretense. Let's have a fight, and whoever wins gets the prize."

Xuanhuangzi seems to still have a bad temper.

"reasonable!"

The old gravedigger shouted and threw the Thousand Wood Infant Soul Pearl in his hand into the sky.

Given the chaos of battle, he wouldn't be foolish enough to keep this item in his possession.

The moment he threw the Infant Soul Pearl into the air, Baihua Sanren, who had remained silent all along, suddenly made his move from the south.

A long pink ribbon flew out from her sleeve, following closely behind the Infant Soul Pearl.

In the blink of an eye, Changling snatched the Infant Soul Bead and flew south at an incredible speed.

Seeing this, Ji Yuan couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

He's ruthless and doesn't talk much.

"The Hundred Flowers Path is a friendly approach!"

Lord Baichui laughed loudly. He flipped his right hand, and a bronze hammer covered with runes appeared in his hand. The hammer handle was slender, and the hammer itself was huge.

He channeled his magic power and struck at the fleeing Hundred Flowers Hermit from afar.

"Thump—"

After a muffled sound, a huge hammer shadow suddenly appeared in front of Baihua Sanren, who had already fled dozens of miles away, and smashed straight towards her.

She quickly stopped, and the long pink ribbon in her sleeve flew out again, transforming into a cloth wall in front of her.

The hammer's shadow struck the cloth wall as if it were hitting cotton, finding no point of contact.

Even so, Baihua Sanren, who was behind the cloth wall, still endured tremendous force.

She was originally in mid-air when she was smashed into the mountain.

But just then, before she could even land, the hilltop transformed into a tomb on its own.

Ji Yuan scanned the grave with his divine sense and found a tombstone on the mound, on which was written:

"The Tomb of Baihua Sanren of Tingtao Pavilion!"

"scare!"

Upon seeing this, Baihua Sanren immediately paled.

If the Hundred Hammers True Lord's hammer blow was merely to stop her, then the old grave-digging ghost's method was definitely meant to kill her.

Realizing she couldn't protect him now, she quickly threw the Thousand Wood Infant Soul Pearl in her hand at the nearest Xuanhuangzi.

The latter felt a surge of joy as he saw the treasure flying towards him.

But then I thought of the situation that Baihua Sanren had encountered.

Knowing this was a hot potato, he casually slapped it to the Hundred Hammers True Lord next to him.

Holding the bronze hammer, he laughed loudly:

"Alright, since you fellow Daoists don't want it, then I'll accept it."

Before he could put the item into his storage bag after speaking, a willow leaf flew from behind him.

He swayed his head slightly, and Qingchengzi's willow-leaf flying sword almost grazed his neck.

He swung the bronze hammer at the flying willow-leaf sword.

But the flying sword flew along the bronze hammer as easily as silk.

Before the Hundred Hammers True Lord could stop,

A long pink ribbon flew from the void, and as its surging magical power spread, it wrapped around his arm.

Two hands covered in lividity appeared out of thin air beneath his feet and immediately grabbed his ankles.

Xuanhuangzi activated a golden pearl, and its golden light shone down on him.

At first glance, it appears to be golden, but upon closer inspection, it is clearly made up of countless tiny flying needles, each as fine as a cow's hair.

Four people ganged up on one person, and they attacked at the same time, giving the impression that they would kill him on the spot if they disagreed.

The Hundred Hammers True Lord also realized this.

If he doesn't stop now... they might really kill him and then split the proceeds among themselves.

While he was desperately resisting the four people's attack, he loosened his grip, and the Thousand Wood Infant Soul Bead flew out of his hand and landed on Qingchengzi next to him.

Qingchengzi, who needed this item the most, blew a breath and sent the Infant Soul Bead onto the old gravedigger who had started it.

"I don't want that."

The old gravedigger flicked his finger and passed it to Xuanhuangzi.

The treasure that everyone was fighting over before is now hated by everyone as if it were a jinx.

Discard it like a worn-out shoe.

"If you don't want it, then I'll take it?"

Xuanhuangzi flicked it, sending it flying towards Baichui Zhenjun.

Having finally escaped, True Lord Baichui saw this and ran away without even stopping.

Unfortunately, just as he dodged, the Thousand Wood Infant Soul Bead flew towards Ji Yuan's location.

"scare!"

Upon seeing this, his eyes widened.

How can this be allowed?

Just as he was about to call out "Zhu Dian" and leave, he saw a streak of blue light flash by.

Immediately afterwards, the Thousand Wood Infant Soul Bead disappeared.

Only a hearty laugh echoed in mid-air, "Very well, since none of you want it, then this old man will reluctantly accept it."

At this moment, the only one who could snatch the Thousand Wood Infant Soul Pearl was naturally Qingchengzi.

"Very well, as expected of Fellow Daoist Qingchengzi, take this blow from me!"

The Hundred Hammers True Lord laughed and struck his bronze hammer again.

Seeing the hammer shadow appear out of thin air in front of him, Qingchengzi used a strange escape technique, his figure suddenly accelerated, and he actually passed directly through the hammer shadow.

He was fast, but Baihua Sanren was even faster.

She transformed into a drop of water and vanished. When she reformed, she was already in front of Qingchengzi, blocking his path.

"Fellow Daoist...impressive skills."

Qingchengzi, who was stopped, had no choice but to stop, and the other three followed suit.

Just like when the four of them surrounded the old gravedigger before.

However, the old gravedigger who was in the middle before is now on the outside, with his arms crossed in front of his chest, looking at Qingchengzi in the middle like a spectator.

The latter was not alarmed by the sight. He looked around and suddenly reached out and pointed forward.

The corpse of a fourth-order long-range falcon appeared out of thin air.

The moment this object appeared, the other four people took a few steps back.

But when they saw the object clearly, their eyes widened in shock.

"You... Ying Changkong..."

Xuanhuangzi was speechless with astonishment at the sight.

"I ran into some fool on the way and just slaughtered him... What a coincidence, what a coincidence."

As Qingchengzi spoke, he casually put away the corpse of the Sky Falcon, then covered his mouth and coughed.

He appeared weak, but his aura grew increasingly powerful.

He killed a cultivator of the same level without sustaining any damage himself...

This alone made them have to take it very seriously.

Taking advantage of their momentary hesitation, Qingchengzi once again used the same escape technique, passing through the old gravedigger and soaring into the far distance.

Ji Yuan felt both worried and happy as he watched this scene.

The worry was that Qingchengzi wouldn't be able to escape.

If he was happy, it was because he had obtained a treasure, and if he could advance to the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm...

For Ji Yuan, this was definitely an extremely successful investment.

Even if you eventually form your own nascent soul, you can still ask him for help in protecting you.

Ji Yuan watched as a streak of blue light disappeared into the distance, followed by four other streaks of light.

"Young friend, I'm afraid I can no longer protect you. You should leave quickly, or they might take you away once they realize what's happening..."

The more Qingchengzi spoke, the fainter his voice became.

By the time he finished speaking, Ji Yuan's divine sense could no longer detect his location.

"In that case, it's time for me to go."

As Ji Yuan murmured to himself, he looked up at the higher reaches of Mount Futu.

It's a pity we can't see anything.

Forget about the Star Wheel, we haven't even seen a shadow of it yet.

Ji Yuan stood up, composed himself, and murmured a prayer.

"Chasing electricity".

His figure vanished in an instant, but when he came to his senses, he found...

It seems I've gone to the wrong place.
